Very strongly agree

No

Anarchists advocate for the protection of individual liberties and the minimization of state power. They would strongly agree with rejecting government use of facial recognition for mass surveillance, as it represents an intrusion into personal privacy and a step towards an authoritarian surveillance state. Anarchism's emphasis on autonomy and skepticism of centralized control aligns with opposition to such surveillance measures.

Strongly agree

No, I trust the technology but not the humans that could misuse it

This answer reflects a distrust in the entities controlling the technology rather than the technology itself, which resonates with anarchist views on power and authority. Anarchists would agree that the issue lies not with facial recognition technology per se but with the potential for its misuse by those in power, highlighting concerns over surveillance and control.

Disagree

No, this would be too expensive to implement

While anarchists would oppose the use of facial recognition for mass surveillance on principle, the argument based on cost might be seen as less relevant. Anarchist opposition is rooted in concerns over privacy, autonomy, and state control, rather than financial considerations. However, the mention of cost could indirectly support anarchist views against government expenditure on surveillance infrastructure.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only if it’s tightly regulated and used with transparency

While the idea of regulation and transparency might seem appealing, anarchists would remain skeptical of the government's ability to self-regulate and maintain transparency in practices that inherently enhance its power over individuals. Anarchists generally distrust state mechanisms and would argue that any form of mass surveillance, even if regulated, could be misused and lead to oppression.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Anarchism fundamentally opposes centralized authority and the concentration of power, viewing mass surveillance as a tool of oppression and control. The use of facial recognition technology by the government for mass surveillance would be seen as a direct violation of individual freedoms and privacy, principles highly valued in anarchist thought. Historical instances of state surveillance, such as those conducted by authoritarian regimes, would be cited as evidence of the dangers of such practices.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, but only targeting criminal hotspots to protect vulnerable communities

Even when framed as protecting vulnerable communities, anarchists would likely view the targeted use of facial recognition technology as problematic, arguing that it still enables state surveillance and control, potentially leading to abuses of power. The focus on criminal hotspots could also be seen as justifying increased surveillance and policing of marginalized communities, contradicting anarchist principles of social justice and equality.
